Device restarting during gameplay.
Device restarting during gameplay.
I've set up a Ryzen 7 2700X system with a good amount of components. I've been using the Antec VP550P PSU and have tried various solutions online, but it keeps restarting. The temperatures are high—CPU at 60°C and GPU at 65°C. The motherboard TDP is 105W, which seems adequate, but the VRM isn't strong enough. I'm worried about stability and performance. What should I do? I really need some advice.
RageTester confirmed memtest86 runs smoothly. System uses antec vp550p power supply. GPU performance sits between 60-70.
Trying to find a power supply rated at 650W or higher. Fingers crossed it will fit. My 2700x CPU core voltage is 1.45V, which is above the typical range for CPUs. I didn’t overclock it—it came out of the box that way. I switched the Ryzen Master to the game profile, capping the voltage at 1V to cut down random restarts, but it still shuts down after 30–45 minutes of gaming. Back then it only stopped after about 5 minutes of play and restarted automatically.
1.45v is too high for stock clocks; consider lowering it to around 1v or 1.1v. Adjust settings in the BIOS rather than Ryzen Master. Ensure you have a solid power supply—since reducing CPU voltage seems to resolve the issue, it’s likely your PSU needs upgrading.
You were testing different clocks and settings. Your 2700X needed about 1.38v for 4.2 with all cores active. At around 1.38v, you mentioned PBO boosts pushed it higher, but you could boost a few cores to 4.35-4.4Ghz.
